Sit Back And Relax, You're Home!

Here are six easy ideas to make any home feel comfortable the minute you step through the door.

• Have a doormat inside and out, they make everyone feel welcome.
• Buy several large, white pillar candles. Light them, then blow them out. This automatically gives the impression of warmth, and makes a home feel that it is lived in (an unlit wick will have the opposite effect).
• A blanket draped on a sofa always invites you to sit down, put your feet up and relax.
• Piles of magazines, catalogs or books are just asking to be picked up and looked at. 
• Get personal. Display something that you love, that reveals (or explains) who you are. A word, a painting, an object? 
• Always have live plants and/or flowers in your home. Their natural energy helps to create a balanced, peaceful environment.
